Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows:
°F=(1.8×°C)+32
Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1929 (NAVD 29).
Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27).
Transmissivity: The standard unit for transmissivity is cubic foot per day per square foot times foot of aquifer thickness [(ft3/d)/ft2]ft. In this report, the mathematically reduced form, foot squared per day (ft2/d), is used for convenience.
